      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Install Zabbix 7.0.18 server on Debian 12 (as per Zabbix instructions)
      2. Add template ICMP Ping to Zabbix server host
      3. Wait a small moment and see zabbix_server.log

      Result:

       11773:20250826:165601.965 At least one of '/usr/sbin/fping', '/usr/sbin/fping6' must exist. Both are missing in the system.
       11746:20250826:165602.032 item "Zabbix server:icmpping" became not supported: At least one of '/usr/sbin/fping', '/usr/sbin/fping6' must exist. Both are missing in the system.

      In /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf:

      # Default:
      # FpingLocation=/usr/sbin/fping

      # Default:
      # Fping6Location=/usr/sbin/fping6

      Fping binary locations:

      $ dpkg -L fping | grep bin
      /usr/bin
      /usr/bin/fping
      /usr/bin/fping6

      Expected:

      No manual configuration for fping binary locations should be required in the Zabbix server configuration.
